Ed Wainaina

Artistic Statement
“As an artist, I am fascinated by the interplay between light and shadow, texture and color, and the natural and built environments. Through my work, I seek to capture the beauty and complexity of the world around us, whether through representational painting or abstract expressionism.

My approach to art-making is grounded in a deep sense of curiosity and experimentation. I believe that the most exciting art comes from taking risks, pushing boundaries, and exploring new techniques and materials. Whether I’m working with oils, acrylics, or mixed media, I strive to create work that is both visually strikingand emotionally resonant.

Ultimately, my goal as an artist is to create work that is both thought- provoking and accessible. I want my art to connect with people from all walks of life, and to inspire them to see the world in a new way. Through my ongoing exploration of form, color, and texture, I hope to continue pushing the boundaries of what art can be, and to create work that is as unique and vibrant as the world that inspires it.”
